1An original mix of fiction and reality illuminates the life of comic book hero everyman Harvey Pekar.
2A college graduate goes to work as a nanny for a rich New York family. Ensconced in their home, she has to juggle their dysfunction, a new romance, and the spoiled brat in her charge.
3A sweeping multigenerational story set against the backdrop of the raw, roaring New York City of the late 1980s; adoption, teen pregnancy, drugs, hardcore punk rock, the unbridled optimism and reckless stupidity of the young—and old—are all major elements in this heart-aching tale of the son of diehard hippies and his strange odyssey through the extremes of late 20th century youth culture.
4A man who escorts wealthy widows in New York's Upper East Side takes a young aspiring playwright under his wing.
5A young woman discovers that both her husband and their new home harbor sinister secrets after they leave Manhattan for small-town life.
6A failed New York playwright stages a suicide in an attempt to win back her ex, only to wind up in the custody of her gambling-addict mother.
